Just wondering if I can join you all...I am starting SF tomarrow and looking forward to it! I need to lose about 39lbs., so I have a ways to go...

Welcome to the SF thread. Sometimes this thread gets real quiet and then other times it is really jumping. So be sure to post often and let us get to know you. Good luck and I know you will enjoy the people here.

Welcome Claramarie!!!

Well, I am two days away from my 30-day bday challenge. Good news and bad news. The bad news is that I have not lost anything. I was sick for a week and I think that I felt the need to treat myself after feeling better...who knows. The good news is that I am still maintaining... It could always be worse.

Thanks, I will repost often and I hope to hear from all of you! How long have you been doing SF?

I have been losing since December 2007... but as you can see I only lost 26 pounds and I should have lost my goal of 40 by now but I have had good weeks and bad weeks. BUT that is my fault... slim-fast does work... the choc royale shakes curb my morning hunder... slim-fast bars curb my lunchtime cravings... I have been drinking slim-fast for breakfast for a good 10 year though.

I COMPLETLY understand about having bad days....My Mom did SF along time ago and she lost about 30lbs, fast too. But then all you had was the 2 shakes and a sensible meal....She was suprised when I told her about the added snacks. Do you have all the snacks that they recommend?:D

Good Morning! The scales made me happy this morning. I'm down another 2 pounds. YAY! Especially happy since I just haven't been able to get back on track with the exercise 100%. But I'm pushing myself to make September a really great month!

Everyone have a Great and Safe Weekend!

I haven't posted in a while. I have strung together another great 4 days in a row. Last weekend (F S S M) I slipped up but i think i am going to be okay. My 30 day challenge ends Sept 3rd, unless i decide to go the rest of the week and do SF til Monday the 8th. That is when I start going back to my trainer that I took off going to for the summer.

Claramarie, I have fruit or veggies only as my snack with my two shakes.

I generally have one snack in the morning and one in the afternoon. I try to keep it around 100 calories. Either a banana, granola bar, 100 calorie snack pack, etc. Sometimes my morning shack (at 8 am) holds me over until lunch at noon but if not I have my snack.

Okay, first day of school tomorrow and I am wearing a size 8 skirt and a small shirt. I would say that this SF plan definitely has paid off. Last year I started the first day of school squeezed into a pair of size 16 pants. I have worked very hard and I recieved a lot of compliments today and I did feel pretty and thinnish today (love those days!) I guess all the nights last week I resisted eating homemade chocolate chip cookies has paid off!!

Anyway, i am going to stick with the SF two times a day til Sept 8th which is Monday and then do it just for breakfast and try to incorporate cereal and or oatmeal into my lunch at school. Wish me luck! I have 5 days to go. Maybe i will post some before and after pics next week. ;) I am feeling very happy and good about myself right now! :)))

Congrats bellastar!! Sounds like you have been doing fantastic and all your hard work has really paid off. We'll be watching for the before and after pics!

Congrats Bellastarr!!!
